What is Artificial Intelligence?
Intelligent machines that can perfrom tasks that typically require human intelligence.
Designed to stimulate cognitive functions such as; learning, problem-solving, reasoning, perception, and decision-making.
What are the impacts of using AI?
-Concerns about data privacy
-Changes in employment structure
-Digital divide in education
-Improve medical diagnostics and treatment
-Concerns over ability to make life altering decisions in medicine
-Bias and discrimination
-Inaccurately represent languages and dialects

-Can be used to protect vulnerable communities from discriminatory or harmful content
-Accountability and transparency is needed when governments decide what to censor
-It can influence public discourse and hinder societal progress
-It exacerbates the digital divide, widening the gap in access to information for communities with restricted internet access
-Concerns about invasive surveillance and monitoring of online activities
-Concerns about restricting the right to information
What is Behaviour Monitoring?
Using CCTV, tracking phone calls, GPS mentoring, and email monitoring to observe individuals.
What are the impacts of Behaviour Monitoring?
-Can enhance security and aid in crime prevention
-Can be used for investigation purposes in law enforcement
-Can be used by companies to assess employee productivity
-Concerns about right to privacy
-Can create feelings of being constantly watched
-Marginalised communities may be disproportionately affected
-Need for security measures and transparency
-Need to minimise the collection of unnecessary data
What is Personal Information Ethics?
Computers analyse personal information, particularly in areas such as healthcare.
What is Data Mining?
The collection and analysis of massive amounts of information in order to identify patterns; in healthcare this can help predict disease trends and identifying at-risk demographics.
What is Machine Learning?
Algorithms that can predict patient outcomes, assess risks, and personalise patient treatment plans based on past data.
What is the impact of Analysing Personl Information?
-Issues of obtaining consent
-Improved healthcare needs to be distributed equally and not favour specific groups
-Risk of privacy breeches
-Must be transparent with how personal information is used
-There are risks that cultural groups may be underrepresented in data sets, leading to bias
What is Piracy?
The unauthorised use, distribution, or reproduction if copyrighted material.
What are the 3 types of Piracy?
-Software Piracy
-Music and Film Piracy
-Ebook Piracy
What are the impacts of Piracy?
-Seen as a means to democratise access to copyrighted content
-Infringement on intellectual property rights
-Encourages the sharing and dissemination of knowledge and information
-Can cause financial loss for creators, extremity significant on cultures that may rely on this work for survival
-Increase global exposure
-Highlights gaps in access to media
-Creates a culture of dishonesty and unfair practices
What is User Experience (UX)
What is Layout in UX design?
The arrangement of elements on a page, including positioning of text, images, buttons, and other interactive elements.
What are Colour Paradigms in UX design?
The systematic use of colours to elicit a specific response for examples;
-An emotional response; different colours evoke different emotions i.e red can mean urgency and importance, whereas blue can mean tryst and stability.
-Visual contrast and accessibility; Using contrasting colours can help highlight essential elements and improve overall accessibility.
-Consistency and branding; Consistent colour schemes can enhance the visual cohesion of the design and align with brand identity.
What are the impacts of Ethics on UX design?
-Different languages use unique character sets, Unicode is often used as it can support langauge that require symbols etc.
-While languages like English read left to right, others like Arabic read right to left, this requires different layout placements.
-Colours hold different meanings in different cultures; whilst red equates to danger in Western culture, it’s often associated with luck in Chinese culture.
What are the impacts of Computers in the Workforce?
-Security concerns due to data breaches; can result in identify theft and financial loss
-Personal data can be used in ways not consented to
-Exacerbates digital divide
-Can affect interpersonal skills and cause potential isolation
-Blur the boundaries between personal life and work life
-Potential loss of livelihood due to job displacement
-Decision making processes can perpetuate biases and discrimination
-Lack of localisation (translations, adapted cultural context) causes misinterpretation and offence
What is Automated Decision Making (ADM)?
Using algorithms and computer systems to make decisions without human intervention;
They use data analysis, pattern recognition, and predefined rules.
How is ADM used in Credit Scoring and Loans?
Financial institutions may use ADM to assess credit-worthiness and determine loan approvals.
They will look at credit history, income, and other data to assess the risks of non-payments.
How is ADM used in Medical Diagnosis and Treatment Recommendations?
Can analyse patient data, medical history, and symptoms to provide timely and accurate diagnoses and suggest appropriate treatment.
How is ADM used in Fraud Detection and Prevention
Banks and financial institutions employ ADM to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions.
They can analyse transaction patterns and user behaviour to flag suspicious activities in real-time.
